13. Pultrusion is the process whereby a profile is formed that has continuous fiber reinforcement running through the profile. This is done by dragging fibers through a pool of thermoset resin or thermoplastic melt and subsequently solidifying the matrix by curing the resin in a heated die or by cooling the melt in a cooling die.
